To all my fellow 1980 babies, 2025 is our year! Why you ask? Because we turn 45 in 2025.
45²=2025
The last time this happened was when people born in 1892 turned 44 in 1936.
The next time this will happen is when people born in 2070 turn 46 in 2116.

I had to pay a $500 deductible for an accident which I wasn't even responsible for because I wasn't even in the car. The neighbour reversed into my car which was parked on the street *sigh*

.@Ancestry what if, in addition to DNA testing, you took people on vacation to their historical homelands? Also, if their DNA matches with anyone, the bonus is surprise meet and greet :)

I was a world stamp collector until about 10 years ago when I decided to just specialize in Canadian stamps. @canadapostcorp seems to want me to quit stamp collecting altogether. Canada Post proposes 25-cent price hike on stamps | CBC News

40 hr work weeks were established in the 30s/40s but tech has improved significantly in the last 80-90 yrs so workers today with 2024 tech are easily 3-4x more productive than workers from the 30s/40s yet our pay isn't equivalent to the pay of 3-4 people.

Depictions of time travel never consider the movement of Earth. For example, if it is currently June but I want to travel to December, Earth will be very far away, and I will be left floating in space. Therefore, time travel needs to include teleportation.

I would like influencers to become a regulated field i.e. they need to be qualified to provide advice. If they do not have the qualifications, they need to have disclaimers saying it's their opinion only and that they are unqualified.

We see because light bounces off objects and returns to our eye. X-rays do not bounce off objects. X-rays go through objects. Therefore, Superman cannot have x-ray vision.

.@Spotify karaoke usually has very outdated song lists. Can you build a karaoke machine and use your vast library of songs for it? The idea is to have a karaoke machine that will always have the most recent songs.

Transporters in Star Trek disintegrate a person into atoms which literally means they kill them and then reconstitutes them. This means that transporters should be able to bring people back from the dead in Star Trek because it's just reconstituting atoms.

Gave this some more thought...maybe werewolves are like moths which would invalidate my previous point.

[Tony Chu 🇨🇦🇹🇹 @cheechue]

The moon is always full every single day. You just don't see all of it because it's in the Earth's shadow or because the sun is too bright. Therefore werewolves are just emo since they only react to the visible full moon when in fact they should be permanently werewolves.

TLC's No Scrubs didn't age well. A person hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride would now be environmentally friendly and economically conscientious.

Santa contributed to global warming by giving coal to all the naughty kids.

Fast food is an oxymoron. To fast is to abstain from food so fast food is food you don't eat.

I feel "One Above All" would be a good theme for a love song. Can someone write one please? Thanks!

Parents should not feel guilty about taking their kids' Halloween candy. You escorted them around the neighbourhood so consider it your fee/tax :)
